You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whichford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Whichford, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Whichford

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Whichford

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Whichford

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
